Ieu Koeus

Ieu Koeus

Ieu Koeus (Ieu Koeuss) served as Prime Minister of Cambodia for nine days in September 1949.Considered an intellectual, he was instrumental in the opening of the "Pak Pracheatipatey" "Democratic Party" in April 1946, created a self-declared government on September 20, 1949, was replaced by Yem Sambaur on September 29.

On January 14, 1950, a hand grenade was thrown into the party headquarters, fatally wounding Koeus. The man throwing the grenade was captured and arrested, admitting, then later denying, that he was a member of the opposing Liberal party. Blame for the assassination, however, varies from the French, King Sihanouk, Yem Sambaur, and rebel Issaraks with little evidence available. Koeus' son Ieu Pannakar is a current-day Cambodian senator.
